I don't know why I didn't expect this, but this article was the most interesting thing I've read all day. It made me almost feel compassion for the bee hive by my mailbox (if you can call it that), in a hole in the grass. We've tried to be rid of them.
you can call local beekeepers who will come out and take them home. I had a swarm adopt my tree as a new home. I called a local keeper and he came and removed them free of charge.
This was a fantastic read, and very educational. I was most surprised to see it put as we are lending money to our banks. Thought there might be mention of FDIC but didn't see any.
